Zhao Hai returned to Sealed Sword City and told Sheng Chao and his wife about Sheng Kuang's situation. Then the couple left. Just as Zhao Hai said, they needed to return to the town and open up their tavern. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any income.
When Zhao Hai returned to the monastery, it only took him a day to return. Because of this, nobody knew that he had left Sealed Sword City.
Actually, the reason why Laura and the others had the Blood Demon pretend to be Zhao Hai was mainly for the future. They didn't want people to suspect that Zhao Hai and Jing Hai were the same person, so they made the Blood Demon.
Zhao Hai was also aware of this, so he went along with Laura and the others. Instead of saying that Sheng Kuang's spiritual force was unstable, it was better to say that it was an innate gift. As long as Sheng Kuang made good use of this gift, then he would certainly become an expert in the future.
The reason why Zhao Hai sent Sheng Kuang to Tideview City was to have him learn how to control his spiritual force. At the same time, Sheng Kuang would also learn how to control his spiritual force. This way, he would be able to establish a solid foundation for Sheng Kuang's spiritual force.
Actually, in the Sword Spirit World, if Sheng Kuang's situation was known to the Great Sects, then they would also be able to nurture him. Unfortunately, Sheng Kuang was just a Rogue Cultivator's child. Moreover, there was no way for him to come in contact with the Great Sects. Moreover, the Great Sects had a strict age requirement when accepting disciples. Generally, only children above 10 years old would be accepted as disciples. But Sheng Kuang's spiritual force was too strong and unstable. If Zhao Hai didn't appear, then Sheng Kuang wouldn't be able to live past 10 years old. Because of this, if he didn't meet Zhao Hai, then Sheng Kuang wouldn't be able to live past 10 years old.
On the second day of Zhao Hai's return to Sealed Sword City, people from the Sealed Sword Sect suddenly came to the monastery. This time, the people from the Sealed Sword Sect were here to see the people from the Sealed Sword Sect. Naturally, the people from the Sealed Sword Sect gathered together and looked at them.
This person from the Sealed Sword Sect looked to be around forty years old. The clothes he was wearing weren't the same as the clothes the Sealed Sword Sect disciples wore. His cultivation level was at the twelfth level of the Spirit Refining Realm. It seemed like his position in the Sealed Sword Sect wasn't low.
Behind this person was a monk. This person was wearing a very ordinary monk's robe. His skin was dark and had a metallic luster. When his eyes opened and closed, they were like lightning. He looked like a black iron tower. Anyone who saw him couldn't help but feel a burst of fear.
The monks looked at the monks in confusion. They didn't know who this monk was and why he was with the people from the Sealed Sword School.
Right now, the monks were all gathered in the second courtyard of the monastery, led by Yuan Jing. They stood there quietly, looking at the person from the Feng Sword Sect and the monk.
The person from the Feng Sword Sect coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Masters of the monks, let me introduce myself first. I'm the manager of the Feng Sword Sect's outer sect, my name is Wan San. This time, I'm here to give you your rewards. When the beasts attacked the city, all of you volunteered to fight against the beasts with us. This made the Feng Sword Sect think highly of all of you, so we've decided to give you some rewards. I've already told you about the rewards, an independent courtyard that can accommodate five hundred people, food provided by the Feng Sword Sect, crystal stones can be exchanged for contribution points, and then some low-level cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, and magical tools of the Feng Sword Sect, as well as some crystal stones. In addition, in the future, all of you will have the same status as the odd job disciples of the Feng Sword Sect. Of course, you don't have to do odd jobs for the Feng Sword Sect, and you won't get any benefits from the Feng Sword Sect, but you can do missions from the Feng Sword Sect. These are the rewards from the Feng Sword Sect, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
What do you think? "When the monks heard Wan San, their faces were filled with joy. They knew about the first two rewards, but they didn't know about the status of janitor disciple of the Sealed Sword Sect. But for them, this was a good thing. With this status, they could do missions from the Sealed Sword Sect. For them, there was nothing better than this. They didn't think that the things they were discussing a few days ago would be realized by the Sealed Sword Sect today, this was really great.
Yuan Jing looked at the monks, then turned to Wan San and said, "Amitabha, thank you for managing the Sealed Sword Sect. We don't have any objections, the Sealed Sword Sect is really taking care of us, we can't thank you enough."
Wan San smiled faintly, then he said, "That's good. For the sake of the Sealed Sword City, you didn't hesitate to fight against the beasts. Giving you these rewards is only natural. There's no need to be so polite. In a moment, I'll take you to see your houses. I hope that you'll be satisfied. Next, I have something to tell you, it's about Master Jing Hai."
Upon hearing Wan San, everyone's gaze turned to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai stared, then he bowed to Wan San and said, "Amitabha, I'm Jing Hai. May I know why Benefactor Wan is looking for me?"
Wan San smiled faintly and said, "It's not me who's looking for you, it's Master Hai Ding. Master Hai Ding, please!" Then Wan San made an inviting gesture to the dark-skinned monk beside him.
The monk put his palms together and bowed to Wan San. He chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice, "Amitabha. Thank you, Benefactor Wan." Then he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "Amitabha, I'm Hai Ding. I'm in charge of the Iron Buddha Temple's external affairs. Master Jing Hai is right."
Upon hearing the monk's name, Yuan Jing and the others stared. Then their eyes lit up. The Iron Buddha Temple was very famous in the Sword Spirit Realm. Although it wasn't the biggest sect, it could still be considered one of the best. What the Iron Buddha Temple was most famous for was none other than their Body Cultivation Techniques.
The Iron Buddha Temple got its name from their Body Cultivation Technique. The Body Cultivation Technique of the Iron Buddha Temple was very powerful. After cultivating it, one's skin would become as tough as iron. Because of this, the Iron Buddha Temple was very famous in the Sword Spirit Realm.
When Zhao Hai heard Hai Ding say that he was from the Iron Buddha Temple, he couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately gave Hai Ding a salute and said, "Amitabha, I didn't expect a Master from the Iron Buddha Temple to be here."
Hai Ding replied, "Master Jing Hai is too polite. Master Jing Hai's performance in the battle against the beasts was very outstanding. This was especially true for Master Jing Hai's Body Cultivation Technique. Because of this, the Sealed Sword Sect reported Master Jing Hai's situation to the Iron Buddha Temple. This time, I came to test Master Jing Hai. If Master Jing Hai passes my test, then you can become an external disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. What does Master Jing Hai think?"
Upon hearing Hai Ding, Yuan Jing and the others stared with their eyes wide open. Their eyes were filled with envy. They were just happy to be able to become a part-time disciple of the Sealed Sword Sect. But now, Zhao Hai was actually going to become an external disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. This was an external disciple, an official external disciple. How could they not be shocked by this?
Zhao Hai didn't expect Hai Ding to test him. However, he immediately reacted. He wanted to learn the Buddhist Body Cultivation Technique, and the Iron Buddha Temple's Body Cultivation Technique was the most famous among the Buddhist Sects. Naturally, Zhao Hai wanted to learn as well. Therefore, he immediately said, "Amitabha. Many thanks, Master Hai Ding. This poor monk is willing to accept the test."
Hai Ding already expected Zhao Hai to say this. The reason why he asked was just a formality. He didn't believe that Zhao Hai wouldn't agree to join the Iron Buddha Temple. Hai Ding was very clear about how attractive the position of an external disciple was to a Rogue Cultivator.
Hai Ding nodded and said, "That's good. Then let's begin the test. Master Jinghai, you are a body cultivator, so you should be very familiar with the basic movements of a body cultivator. I'll have to ask you to practice the basic movements of a body cultivator."
Zhao Hai immediately understood what Hai Ding meant. Outsiders might not have a good understanding of the basic movements of Body Cultivation, but Body Cultivators were very clear about it. The basic movements of Body Cultivation were the foundation of all Body Cultivators. It was also the only cultivation method that wouldn't become obsolete. Even if one's Body Cultivation Realm was very high, the basic movements would still be useful. This was also the reason why the basic movements of Body Cultivation were so widely spread. It was the simplest and most practical.
As for a body cultivator, one's performance when practicing the basic movements of a body cultivator could also be seen from one's attitude towards body cultivators. Therefore, an expert body cultivator would be able to tell the strength and attitude of another body cultivator just by looking at the basic movements of another body cultivator.
For Body Cultivators, mentality was very important. The process of Body Cultivation was very difficult. Because of this, many Body Cultivators would have an imbalance in mentality. They would see others practicing their flying swords every day, even stepping on their flying swords when they go out, looking like an immortal. But when they look at themselves, practicing their basic movements every day, sweating profusely every day. In the eyes of others, they were like coolies. How could their mentality be balanced? Those who can adjust their mentality and let their mentality slowly balance out would have higher achievements in the future. As for those who have an imbalance in mentality, they wouldn't be able to practice the basic movements well, and their cultivation wouldn't be good either. This was because the basic movements were too boring and too challenging.
Hai Ding was obviously a very strong Body Cultivator. Naturally, he was also a knowledgeable person. Because of this, he didn't test Zhao Hai. He just wanted to see how well Zhao Hai practiced the basic movements. If Zhao Hai didn't practice well, then it would be impossible for him to become an Outer Disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. Because of this, the first test was actually the most difficult one. If he passed this test, then there would be the second one. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any more tests.
